Re: for those with low vision

Books on tape were the salvation for my mother’s cousin.  She was an avid reader her whole life, but eventually her macular degeneration left her legally blind.  Every time I visited, she had stacks of tapes of books that brought her so much enjoyment.

I wished my parents were readers when they were alive since they both had macular degeneration (my Dad was basically legally blind -- they didn't catch his in time and my mom's was dry and she still drove right before she died) and they could have benefited from this wonderful idea.
